The famous ice skating rink located in the heart Central Park.The rink was opened in 1949 with funds donated by Kate Wollman who donated $600,000 for the rink to commemorate her entire family from Leavenworth, Kansas. Historically, the rink has been open for ice skating from October to April and in the summer seasons is transformed into a venue for other purposes.The rink had for many years been the venue for a series of outdoor summer rock concerts.
Wollman Rink is currently operated by the Trump Organization, and is today known as the Trump Wollman Skating Rink. Donald Trump operated the rink from 1987 to 1991.

No trip to New York is complete without a few laps around this ice-rink. We had the entire rink to ourselves, on a clear winter's day in the city. With the commanding presence of the high rise buildings surrounding the park, it is a great activity to soak in the atmosphere of the city.
